This happens because, although prepare_fb and cleanup_fb are perfectly balanced, we cannot guarantee consistency in the check plane->state->fb == state->fb. This means that sometimes we can increase the refcount in prepare_fb and don't decrease it in cleanup_fb. The opposite can also be true.

In fact, the struct drm_plane .state shouldn't be accessed directly but instead, the drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state() helper function should be used. So, we could stick to this check, but using drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state(). But actually, this check is not really needed. We can increase and decrease the refcount symmetrically without problems.

This is going to make the code more simple and consistent.


This patch addresses issue #5730. I also sent this patch upstream [1].

This happens because, although `prepare_fb` and `cleanup_fb` are
perfectly balanced, we cannot guarantee consistency in the check
plane->state->fb == state->fb. This means that sometimes we can increase
the refcount in `prepare_fb` and don't decrease it in `cleanup_fb`. The
opposite can also be true.

In fact, the struct drm_plane .state shouldn't be accessed directly
but instead, the `drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state()` helper function should
be used. So, we could stick to this check, but using
`drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state()`. But actually, this check is not really
needed. We can increase and decrease the refcount symmetrically without
problems.

This is going to make the code more simple and consistent.

Thanks - this fixed the issue I was seeing (a master build of kodi with fences enabled producing the quoted kernel splat on Pi3).
